I am proud that in 🇧🇪 and in most of 🇪🇺 your gender identity does not define you as a person and is a non-issue. I hope that my appointment as Minister and deputy PM can trigger the debate in countries where this is not yet the case. #fighttransphobia

Fixed a couple minor issues with Share on Mastodon.
Interesting. I used to use Jetpack’s Publicize ages ago. And my Mastodon plugin already supports posting entire posts (that is, if they’re short enough), and a form of threading. Requires some filter hook creativity, though.
Jetpack 9.0 will debut a new feature that allows users to share blog posts as Twitter threads in multiples tweets.

There’s ACF and Meta Box, sure. (And then there’s Elementor and Divi. 🤢)
It is [easy] to look at every job as a nail and WordPress as the hammer. Or, even specific plugins[.]

Oh, my. Mastodon’s solved this quite elegantly ages ago: let users choose. (It has also had actually usable image alt text since, uh, forever.)

[F]ederation distributes governance and cost, and can allow us to tackle challenges that we couldn’t overcome without it. […] Viva la federación!
Just threw together https://jan.boddez.net/raspberry-pi, on some of my former RPi “projects.” So I don’t forget. I’ll eventually add some photos (and set up similar pages for my guitars and arcade cabs). I mean, I could blog about all this, one project at a time, but I feel a brochure-like approach is somehow more suited.
Quickly created this WordPress plugin that basically introduces a short-form CPT—well, two, but you don’t necessarily have to use ‘em both—and maps Micropub entries to it. That’s it. How’s this relate to Post Kinds? It doesn’t. I like how it keeps WP Admin (and permalink URLs) really neat and all, but there’s no meta boxes, and no markup gets generated for you. (Want to add, e.g., u-in-reply-to in there? Gonna have to do that by hand.) https://github.com/janboddez/indieweb-custom-post-types
Going to stop forwarding replies to the “main thread,” I think. On this site, I mean. Their comment/webmention “renditions” are too often missing markup or images. I mean, unless I fix that. The downside would be that “follow-up replies” are currently only shown on that “main thread.” (Aargh.)
New joystick, button blank where the extra hole used to be. Not perfect, but better.

Knew it.
[T]he team found that there was no relationship between an accelerated academic program—such as [skipping a grade, or entering college early]—and the students’ ultimate psychological balance.

This here’s probably the best guide to “IndieWebifying” any WordPress theme. Two things: (1) You could definitely use a child theme to do this. (Pro: very few files and very little code. Con: can’t have child theme child themes [in case others would wanna build off your work].) (2) You may wanna check for existing e-content and p-summary elements, like those added by plugins—Micropub—rather than blindly add them to every post.
